After it has boiled and heated well, remove from fire.
Now if you want add some coriander leaves to it .
Take a kadai add some ghee and season with mustard seeds and 3-4 curry leaves,which will enhance the taste and smell of the rasam.

This rasam can be had as a soup if you want to as it will be very refreshing ,and also when you have nasal cold or fever, this rasam will be soothing and tasteful to your tongue you will love it
